If you haven’t been listening?
The Democratic Biden/Harris admin HAS been driving border crossing down dramatically ….
To be fair?
They have had help form Mexico also….
No Matter….
The numbers ARE down….
Republicans (Donbald Trump)are now trying change the narritiuve to the target the LEGAL migrants that have been exported from Texas and Florida to Democratic cities and states and can’t LEGALLY work ….
Does THAT make sense?
Oh?
And Vice President Harris is gonna travel to the border , which IS just going to invite Trump and Republicans to try to zing Harris , and Biden more for trying to take away their ability to pound them on immigration’s negatives.
The Biden administration is expected to take action next week to make it harder to lift its policy banning asylum for migrants who cross the southern border illegally, three people with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
The action makes it increasingly unlikely that those restrictions, issued by President Biden in June, will lift in the near future, cementing what had been a short-term fix into a central feature of the asylum system. The restrictions have thus far appeared to propel a major downturn in border crossings.
The change could come at a critical moment of the presidential campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris, who has worked to offset longstanding criticisms of the administration’s handling of the southern border. Ms. Harris plans to visit the border in Arizona on Friday.
The policy largely solidifies a shift from the longstanding U.S. promise to allow migrants who come into the country to apply for asylum, regardless of how they do it, and fundamentally alters years of past practice at the southern border….
…
The Biden administration has said that migrants can continue to enter the country and seek asylum if they get appointments at ports of entry beforehand. The administration offers over 1,000 appointments a day to migrants seeking to enter the country.
The order issued in June allowed for the limits on asylum to be lifted if the number of people crossing illegally remained below 1,500 a day for one week. The changes that the administration plans to release next week would require the crossings to remain low for several weeks in order for the restrictions to be lifted.
The number of border crossings has not stayed low enough thus far to lift the restrictions, and an even longer period of low crossings seems unlikely.
